If you read the "definition" section of any government document, the entry for "official investigation" should have this listed beside it.
I cite irreconcilable differences.

Here's the interesting point ... I'm fairly confident that CBS spent a lot more than the amount of the fine on legal fees to dispute the validity of the fine.

So, even though the fine was vacated, they still had to pay through the nose.

Might be an appearance thing, and not getting caught with the responsibility.

It's also a matter of having the violation on the record.

Just like points on your license, or a prior burglary conviction, it gives them an excuse to ramp up the punishment the next time.

All I'm saying is, CBS wound up paying, either way.

I am so adjective that I verb nouns!
I want to sue for personal trauma -- shouldn't that be a class action suit?
The dogma lives loudly within me.

In my defense, I was left unsupervised.
